the original post was based off the earlier seasons now it’s going to be in the later seasons for a comparing. hope you enjoy reading!
[earlier seasons] she wouldn’t know who you were, but if he you had told her that you were Miguel’s friend from school she would offer to hold your hand. she would be incredibly gentle with it, especially if you had came back with bruising around the knuckle or tips of your fingers. she is just worried that you might break along with Miguel with this new sensei. she would also give a light squeeze of your hand as a way to say “I care for you” or “I love you” , while placing her thumb overlapping yours.
[later seasons] after knowing who you are now, she would offer to hold your hand. give a couple kisses to the back after seeing the bruising, because she knows how practice can get. you aren’t hurt too badly so she gives you the bandages and hydrogen peroxide to tend the wounds. she still squeezes your hand the same, but the only difference is that you squeeze her back.
[earlier seasons] he would appear quite nervous to hold your hand, as he probably never held anyone else’s hand but his mami y abuela. he would be notorious for asking you or nudging your hands together. he liked interlocking your hands together, it gave him more grip to hold onto you even if you pulled.
[later seasons] he still enjoys the interlocking of your hands together, although he doesn’t ask to hold them no more. he gives kisses to your hands and holds them to his face when they’re cold; when they are warm, he nuzzles his cheek on them and gives kisses. he leads you around when holding them, because he likes to show you around.
[earlier seasons] he’s not the biggest fan of physical affection, or displaying it for that matter. his perspective of love is jaded, though he does try to hold your hand a couple times with permission. he thinks he isn’t doing it correctly at all.
[later seasons] he has gotten better at it, but insists of offering to hold your hand if you were comfortable but if not, he’ll keep his hands to himself. when the two of you are holding hands, he seems to be more relaxed. he plays around with the thumb of your hand.
[earlier seasons] if you had told her that you were close with Sam, she would be so eager to hold or touch you in general. she came across very loving in the beginning as to distract herself from her husband’s weird rivalry, with this Lawrence guy.
[later seasons] she would still want to hold your hand, but resorted to asking this time as she figured during the beginning of when you two met that she could have been a tad too pushy with it. now she just waits until you are ready.
[earlier seasons] he is not the biggest fan of physical touch or affection in general, and that might be due to his parents hardly giving it to him. he just doesn’t know what to do is what he claims, but he does hold onto the tip of your forefinger (index finger). he is just very distant and simple about it.
[later seasons] he has gotten better at it too, and holds on tight to the rest of your hand. he is more at ease about the whole thing now. he finds himself enjoying the experience of it all, especially when you are. it gives him a sense of purpose.
[earlier seasons] he would claim he’s too busy to in order of because his “rival” that is keeping his mind busy…right sure, whatever you say danny. he tries to make up for it later by giving you kisses to it but that doesn’t do anything to please you.
[later seasons] he would nudge or offer his hand to you to hold but he would never force you to hold his hand. you’re hesitant to hold it, because what if another “rival” distracts him from giving you the attention you seek?
07 , Samantha LaRusso/Sam :
[earlier seasons] she would wave at you from the table she’s sitting at, almost like flagging you down to come join her. her friends are unaware of who she’s waving at, almost trying to dismiss you entirely. she says she intends to hangout with you more, and she does as the two of you get closer she holds your hand. you didn’t feel it at first couple times as she done it so gently.
[later seasons] she would still do the same thing, but not at that table. she would invite you to one where it was just the two of you, or with Hawk, Miguel, and the others. you can at least feel when she is holding your hand as now she gives it a little bit of a kiss or squeeze to it.
[earlier seasons] he truly does not recall the last time he held anybody’s hand so he wouldn’t want to try with you. he hopes it doesn’t that bit offends you, but he will learn is what you tell yourself.
[later seasons] he doesn’t know which way to hold it. it’s either gentle or rough. there is no in between where you wouldn’t have it any other way you actually like it like that you prefer when he holds a gently so it doesn’t feel like your hand is breaking.
09 , Eli Moskowitz/Hawk :
[earlier seasons] he was surprised that you would want to hold his hand. the confusion on your face had hurt your feelings a little bit, but it’s understandable because everybody had called him a freak, not you though he appreciates it he holds your hand gently almost afraid that he’s going to break it. you reassure him that you want this. he just holds onto you, follows you all around, he is just the happiest he’s been.
[later seasons] he doesn’t hold your hand gently anymore. he forcibly grabs it into his hands and giving you a big smooch on the back of your palm. you take in every moment. he’s definitely much more aggressive with his approach to show you that he loves you. there are times he does show the gentle side of him, of course… he uses your hand to twirl you around, leading you through a busy hallway, etc.
[earlier seasons] she would kind of forcibly grab your hand, but she would be incredibly gentle when holding it. the callous on her hands kind of bringing gentle cushioning to the two of you.
[later seasons] she would start interlocking your fingers with hers, and has gotten much more gentler with her approach to holding your hand. she felt as her previous experience was a bit too harsh on you, though you begged differently. she does manage to quickly grab you up in varying situations, i.e. someone could be trying to flirt with you, a busy hallway, or just to dance with you.
[earlier seasons] he would be a mix of awkward and shy to ask you for your hand, and once you said yes, he got super excited about it then he mellowed out and tried playing that off also you definitely teased him for getting all giddy about it.
[later seasons] he’s still a little giddy, but he likes to hide it. you definitely see the sparkle on his eye. he likes to hold your hand like it’s the last good thing on the planet, because you are very dear to him. you know that and you reimburse it. you should him that he is just as special like you are to him.
[earlier seasons] he definitely would not know who you are, or why you would want to hold his hand after knowing he is an excessively harmful person to be around… he just doesn’t want to hurt you or anyone else.
[later seasons] after being released from juvenile detention (juvie), he still a little weary after you still would want to hold his hand, ensuring to yourself that you could fix him into being a more gentle person than what he was before. he does softened a little, but he’s still wondering if he still violent. you encourage him to not think like that anymore, and that his brother can protect himself now.
